Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

"A beast is a beast, even if he becomes a Dou Huang, he's still stupid!" The black-robed expert sneered, "Fighting is about outnumbering the enemy. One-on-one combat? Do you think this is a ring competition?"

"Roar! How dare you insult me, the Emperor! I will make sure none of you ever leave the Fire Dragon Mountains!"

As the Fire Spirit Flood Dragon roared in fury, the flames on its body intensified, and in the blink of an eye, surging crimson flames burst forth from its body, finally coalescing into a massive crimson pillar of fire that shot straight into the sky…

The intense heat, even from a distance of thousands of meters, still made Ye Chen, who was protected by the starlight below, feel drenched in sweat.

"Wow! What a terrifying sight!" Ye Chen lay prone under a boulder, wiping the sweat streaming down his forehead, staring in awe at the enormous fire dragon in the distant sky, and couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.

In the sky, facing the berserk Fire Spirit Flood Dragon, the two powerful figures from the Black Fire Sect dared not be negligent.

The two simultaneously unleashed their flaming longswords, and in a short while, a massive firestorm that stretched across the heavens and earth was formed.

"My goodness! This is the real battle of the Battle Emperors..."

The massive firestorm in the sky, accompanied by violent winds and thunder, swept madly towards the One-Horned Fire Spirit Dragon. Wherever the firestorm passed, it plowed a valley into the rocks below, and many magical beasts that couldn't escape in time were swept in and torn to shreds.

Previously, in the Wind and Cloud Arena in Qingyue City, although the battles were fought by Dou Huang level experts, it was, after all, an arena competition, and it was impossible to use such terrifying fighting techniques...

Moreover, this level of attack is extremely taxing on the user; it requires two nine-star Dou Huangs to work together to unleash it, so it is rarely seen in the past.

"boom!"

A deafening clap of thunder suddenly exploded in the clear sky.

The massive firestorm and the fire pillar condensed to its extreme by the Fire Spirit Dragon collided fiercely, releasing terrifying energy at each other. At the point where the two met, the space itself seemed to ripple slightly.

Ye Chen strained against the violent aftershocks, squinting as he looked at the battlefield in the sky...

However, the crimson pillar of fire ultimately failed to shatter the towering storm of flames; instead, it was directly pulverized by the violent tearing force within the storm.

The firestorm, after shattering the pillar of fire, continued its relentless advance, engulfing even the massive body of the Fire Spirit Dragon...

"Roar……!!!"

In a short while, the Fire Spirit Dragon's miserable roar came from the center of the storm.

Seeing this, the two Blackfire Sect experts on the battlefield secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the attack just now was a joint effort by the two of them, it had still taken a toll on them.

Such a terrifying attack could not be stopped by a mere magical beast comparable to a peak Dou Huang, let alone a Dou Zong-level expert!

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, several dark figures suddenly emerged from the mountains and rushed towards them with lightning speed!

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Star Chart Emerges

Even if the combined attack of the two nine-star Dou Huangs couldn't kill the one-horned fire spirit dragon outright, it was enough to leave the latter half-dead.

Seeing that Lin Yuheng and the Blackfire Sect's victory was a foregone conclusion, the other three forces that had been lying in ambush nearby seized the opportunity and made their move instantly!

However, this scene was clearly within Lin Yuheng's expectations.

He looked at the figures rushing towards him and sneered, "Hmph! I knew you guys wouldn't be able to hold back, but unfortunately, I was prepared!"

"You two, come with me to help the two elders of the Blackfire Sect stop them. Cheng Wu, go and retrieve the demon core and dragon essence of that Fire Spirit Dragon for me!"

"Yes!"

The group following behind Lin Yuheng agreed and immediately rushed out.

To Lin Yucheng's left, a figure completely shrouded in black robes flew silently toward the firestorm that had mostly dissipated.

Cheng Wu, the man who defeated the King of Fighters Fan Qingge at the Wind and Cloud Arena a few days ago. However, after being nearly turned into a blood slave by the strange woman Xue Wu, his strength was greatly diminished...

He was originally a seven-star Dou Huang, but judging from his aura, he was now less than a four-star Dou Huang. Moreover, judging from his unstable aura, he was clearly still seriously injured and had not yet recovered.

If Lin Yuheng hadn't promised him a seventh-grade pill to heal his injuries and restore his foundation, he wouldn't have come to wade into this mess despite his serious injuries.

The battle in the sky broke out again. The powerful figures brought by Lin Yuheng, led by two experts from the Black Fire Sect, actually managed to hold back the forces of the other three parties...

As long as Cheng Wu succeeds here, they can retreat at will.

But unnoticed by everyone, Ye Chen, protected by silver flames, had already silently reached the mountain peak not far from the Fire Spirit Dragon.

"Damn! The Blackfire Sect is really ruthless. This is almost like being torn to pieces..." Ye Chen muttered to himself as he looked at the Fire Spirit Dragon, whose scales were covered in huge wounds, a hundred meters below.

Even so, the fire spirit dragon was clearly not dead yet, so he dared not rush out rashly at this time...

Anyway, Lin Yuheng went to such great lengths to defeat the Fire Spirit Flood Dragon, so he certainly wouldn't just leave it there. He just needs to wait here.

Sure enough, a black figure flew rapidly down from low altitude in no time.

Judging from the appearance, he was actually a Dou Huang... This made Ye Chen frown.

Unexpectedly, even at this point, Lin Yuheng still managed to spare a Dou Huang-level expert...

Ye Chen originally thought that with the restraint of Elder Luo and others, Lin Yuheng could at most send over one Dou Wang.

Looks like we'll have to change our plans for now!

Cheng Wu flew above the Fire Spirit Dragon's body, looking at the giant beast that was already on its last legs, but did not approach rashly.

He drew two jet-black daggers from his waist, their blades wreathed in a chilling aura of black battle qi like venomous snakes…

A moment later, two spiraling energies shot towards the Fire Spirit Dragon's massive head like lightning.

He had used this move before on the arena. Although it didn't break Fan Qingge's defense at the time, it was still enough to deal with a dying magical beast.

However, just as that spiraling energy was about to strike...

When the Fire Spirit Dragon's head was severed, the Fire Spirit Dragon, which was already on the verge of death, suddenly opened its giant eyes. Its crimson pupils, filled with final madness and brutality, allowed it to spew out a huge pillar of fire...

"Hmph, I knew you weren't dead, you beast..."

Cheng Wu, who was prepared, snorted coldly in his heart and flew directly into the sky, dodging the Fire Spirit Flood Dragon's dying counterattack.

"Roar……"

After a mournful roar, the Fire Spirit Dragon, having exhausted its last bit of fighting spirit and strength, slammed its massive, single-horned head heavily onto the ground, and the fiery aura around its body quickly dissipated.

"Damn, thank goodness I didn't act rashly earlier." Ye Chen, who was hiding in the distance, watched this scene and couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have been able to dodge that dying blow from the Fire Spirit Dragon!

But isn't this the perfect opportunity I've been waiting for...?

With a flick of his finger, a fiery red jade bottle appeared in his hand. The cap was lifted, and a bright red flame, as vivid as blood, burst out. Without hesitation, Ye Chen bit his middle finger, letting a drop of his blood fall into the bottle.

As the blood dripped in, the crimson flame rippled violently, then, under Ye Chen's control, transformed into a blood-red fire wolf. Its blood-red eyes gleamed with a chilling light, and with a stomp of its four hooves, it charged towards Cheng Wu, who was about to fall from the sky...

"Hehe, this Blazing Wolf King is a peak fifth-tier magical beast. By condensing its essence blood into a fire beast, we can unleash about 70% of the Blazing Wolf King's power..."

As an alchemist, the most powerful tool is naturally fire...

When Ye Chen left the Ye family this time, he brought more than ten kinds of beast fire with him, just in preparation for dealing with some special situations.

The combat power of this fire beast, formed from the fire of beasts, is not so much related to the strength of the controller; it mainly depends on the quality of the fire.

Of course, it would be wishful thinking for a mere fire beast to stop a Dou Huang.

However, with the enhancement of his star essence, coupled with his cultivation of the Ye family's fire control technique since childhood, Ye Chen is now able to control three fire beasts in battle...

Seeing that Cheng Wu was slowed down by the suddenly appearing fire wolf, Ye Chen did not dare to delay and quickly took out two more jade bottles and used the same method.

The next moment, a black fiery eagle and a blue fiery lion simultaneously charged into the battle circle in the sky, joining the fire wolf in a frenzied attack on Cheng Wu...

The sudden appearance of the fire beast startled Cheng Wu.

After all, this was the Fire Dragon Mountain Range, inhabited by many powerful fire beasts. In addition, he had never witnessed such methods of alchemists, so he did not immediately realize that these fire beasts were created by someone manipulating flames.

Taking advantage of the extremely short time when the opponent was unsure of the situation, Ye Chen's figure transformed into a phantom and rushed directly towards the Fire Spirit Dragon below the mountain.

In just a few breaths, the distance of several hundred meters had been covered. Then, Ye Chen pulled out a blue longsword from his storage ring and stabbed it into the eye of the Fire Spirit Dragon without hesitation.

"Ding! A peak sixth-tier fire-attribute magical beast has been killed, and a complete beast soul has been obtained. Integrate it into the Star Chart?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ye Chen said eagerly.

The moment his voice rang out, an invisible force enveloped the massive corpse of the Fire Spirit Dragon, and then a phantom fire dragon suddenly soared into the sky, appearing to be none other than the one-horned Fire Spirit Dragon…

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Comprehensive Improvement

The enormous dragon soul that soared into the sky startled the entire battlefield.

Lin Yuheng, who was struggling to defend against a three-star Dou Huang sent by his second brother, couldn't help but turn his head to look. He then saw the enormous dragon soul roar to the sky before plunging into the body of a boy below...

"It's him?!"

Looking at Ye Chen, who was not as good as his battlefield brother, Lin Yuheng was stunned for a long time.

But when he saw the other party groping something through the pierced eye of the one-horned fire spirit dragon, he was both shocked and furious...

"You scoundrel! How dare you steal from me?!"

Hearing the roar from the sky above, Ye Chen, who had already touched a warm, crystalline object, looked up, grinned at Lin Yuheng, and then turned and ran off into the distance...

Faced with a group of powerful warriors at the Dou Wang and Dou Huang levels, now is the time to run!

"Damn it, grab him right now!!" Lin Yuheng's expression changed drastically, and he shouted angrily.

Cheng Wu, who already knew he had been deceived, was also furious...

He originally thought he was being attacked by three fifth-tier magical beasts, and because of his serious injuries, he didn't dare to go all out.

Unexpectedly, this was just a trick devised by a mere Grand Master!

With a furious roar, he spun his twin daggers, and the powerful energy blades instantly cleaved the fire wolf blocking his way. Then, he joined his hands together and unleashed two spiraling streams of battle qi, which rushed towards Ye Chen's back.

If this hits solidly, it could probably take Ye Chen's life!

At the critical moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky, not only shattering Cheng Wu's battle aura pillar but also grabbing Ye Chen's shoulder on the ground. Then, the bolt transformed into silver lightning and flew away from the Fire Dragon Mountain Range...

This scene enraged Lin Yuheng, while others, such as Elder Luo, were completely bewildered.

Did the person run away during the fight?

What's going on here?!

"Withdraw!" Old Luo had no choice but to give the order, gritting his teeth.

There was no other way. Originally, the two nine-star Dou Huang experts of the Black Fire Sect were able to hold off Lin Yuheng and the others by relying on him and Hu Tian, ​​one of them holding off the other. Now that Hu Tian had run away, the remaining two of them were no match for Lin Yuheng and the others.

In the end, the corpse of the one-horned fire spirit dragon was still left to Lin Yuheng!

This is what Mr. Luo is most unwilling to accept.

After Elder Luo left with Lin Yutong's men, the remaining men sent by the Lin brothers, Lin Yucheng and Lin Yuting, were no match for Lin Yuheng, so they wisely made a hasty retreat...

Lin Yuheng, however, seemed devoid of joy at the victory, especially as Cheng Wu lowered his head and whispered, "Young Master, the demonic core of the One-Horned Fire Spirit Dragon is here. But the Dragon Essence is missing..."

In one sentence, Lin Yuheng was so angry that he started cursing!

Then there's Ye Chen and his servant, who had already vanished without a trace.

Hu Tian led his audacious young clan leader on a flight of hundreds of miles before finding a secluded mountain forest and diving inside.

In an unnamed valley three hundred miles west of the Fire Dragon Mountains, Ye Chen and Hu Tian sat cross-legged deep within a cave, gazing at the fiery red crystal they held in their hands…

The crystal was round, about the size of a fist, and emitted a dazzling red light. What surprised Ye Chen even more was that the inside of this object was like magma, constantly rippling.

"Is this the Dragon Essence?" Ye Chen couldn't help but ask curiously.

Any magical beast with sufficient dragon blood will develop a special energy body within its body, in addition to its most fundamental magical core; this is known as the Dragon Essence.

This is a very special type of energy aggregate within the body of a dragon-type magical beast. It is prepared by the dragon-type magical beast for itself to break through to the seventh-order transformation, and it is extremely precious.

Not only Ye Chen, but even Hu Tian, ​​who had followed Ye Xun, the patriarch of the Ye family, for more than 30 years, was seeing such a strange object for the first time.

"I once heard my old master say that the legendary Dragon Essence not only contains a vast amount of pure energy, but can also transform a person, enhance their affinity for fire, and even make them immune to all poisons and eternally youthful. I wonder if it's true..."

Ye Chen chuckled and explained, "It's not that exaggerated!"

Ye Chen tossed the fist-sized dragon essence in his hand and continued, "It's just a dragon essence left behind by a sixth-order magical beast. It's understandable that it can improve cultivation, enhance physique, and increase fire affinity, but claims of being immune to all poisons or eternal youth are just nonsense."

After all, there are poison masters at the Dou Zong or even Dou Zun levels on this continent. How could the poisons used by people of that level be resisted by mere Dragon Essence?

Hu Tian nodded, agreeing with Ye Chen's assessment. If so many benefits could truly be obtained from a single Dragon Essence, wouldn't all the dragon-type magical beasts on this continent suffer?

However, it is true that consuming the Dragon Essence can enhance resistance to poison, since dragon-type magical beasts themselves have very high resistance to poison!

"However, no matter what, with this Dragon Essence, your strength will increase significantly, Young Master!" Hu Tian said with a gratified expression.

This is true.

However, what truly made Ye Chen happy was not the Dragon Essence, but the fact that his cheat system could finally be completed and become the full version!
